Is there a way to prevent VS2008 creating browse info file files for C++

Is there a way to prevent VS2008 creating browse info file files for C++ projects.
I rarely use the class browser and it isn’t worth the time it takes to recreate it after every build, especially since it runs even if the build failed.

EDIT – it’s also needed for go to declaration/definition

    There is a registry key for this as well: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Languages\Language Services\C/C++]

    Intellisense ON

    "IntellisenseOptions"=dword:00000000

    Intellisense OFF

    "IntellisenseOptions"=dword:00000007

    Intellisense ON – NO Background UPDATE

    "IntellisenseOptions"=dword:00000005

    More flags are available and you can Control Intellisense through Macros as well.

    ISENSE_NORMAL = 0       'normal (Intellisense On)
ISENSE_NOBG = &H1       'no bg parsing (Intellisense Updating Off - although NCB file will be opened r/w and repersisted at shutdown)
ISENSE_NOQUERY = &H2    'no queries (don't run any ISense queries)
ISENSE_NCBRO = &H4      'no saving of NCB (must be set before opening NCB, doesn't affect updating or queries, just persisting of NCB)
ISENSE_OFF = &H7
